Last week was very busy preparing for the Snowflakes performance. However, we did manage to fit in some work!

Many of the students are working on going back into their texts to locate information and find evidence for their thinking. We have also been looking at based words and suffixes. Our current 'read aloud' during snack is Encyclopedia Brown and the students are growing in their ability to pick out clues to solve the mysteries!

We also did a little bit of introductory work on fractions. We worked on understanding that fractions refer to a part of a whole and that we can read them "4 out of 12 are green". We are wrapping up our work on learning the facts to 12 and we also worked with the base ten blocks this week to show two and three digit numbers and to practice regrouping ones to tens and tens to hundreds.

A big thank you to the PAC for purchasing an iPad mini for the classroom. This facilitates the launch of Freshgrade - which is a communication system between home and school. It is a powerful tool that allows you to see and hear your child demonstrate his/her learning. It will be exciting to get this up and running!

Have a wonderful week!
